Description
Indulge in these delightful French Toast Roll Ups, filled with sweet cream cheese and dusted with cinnamon sugar—an irresistible breakfast treat that’s fun to make!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick bread (Texas toast or challah)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- fresh fruit or syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workstation by gathering all ingredients and tools (mixing bowl, whisk, frying pan).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Trim the crusts off each bread slice if desired. Spread a layer of cream cheese on each slice and roll them up tightly.
- Dip each roll in the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated but not soaked.
- Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the roll ups seam-side down and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes each).
- While hot, coat each roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for added sweetness.
- Serve warm with syrup or fresh fruit as desired.
Notes
- Stale bread works best for easier rolling.
- Feel free to substitute cream cheese with nut butter or fruit preserves for different flavors.
